This research is aimed to understand the effects of  rain fall and discharge rate towards hydro electric power plant productivity (case study at Kracak Sub Unit HPP, Bogor Regency Jawa Barat). Multiple regression tecnique analysis is used as research method with quantitative approach for describing the effects of rain fall and discharge rate towards hydro electric energy productivity. Based on Sub Unit PLTA Kracak during a highest down pour in June 2018 has gained electrical power about 173,583 kWh for 15,84 mm rain fall and the lowest rain fall in July 2018 is 0,86 mm only obtain 49,772 kWh electrical power with the average rain fall record in three stations is 8,9592 mm. Mean while, for the highest river discharge rate happened in February is 10,08 m3/detik which produce 198,296 kWh electrical power and the lowest in June that only gained 3,53 m3/detik which produce 49,772 kWh electrical power with the average of river discharge rate in 2018 is only 7,9858 m3/detik. The average of electrical power it self is only 156,0105 kWh for 8,9592 mm of rainfall and 7,9858 m3/detik river discharge rate record in 2018. The conclusion oh this research is the discharge rate in headwaters area is affected by rainfall intensity, but not necessarily affected to hydro electric energy productivity.   ABSTRAK Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh curah hujan dan debit air terhadap produktivitas energi listrik yang dihasilkan pada pembangkit listrik tenaga air (Studi Kasus: Sub Unit PLTA Kracak, Kabupaten Bogor Jawa Barat). Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode deskriptif dengan pendekatan kuantitatif teknik analisis data regresi berganda untuk mendiskripsikan data penelitian curah hujan dan debit air terhadap produktivitas energi listrik yang dihasilkan. Berdasarkan data hasil penelitian yang diperoleh di Sub Unit PLTA Kracak data curah hujan tertinggi pada tahun 2018 di Bulan Juni sebesar 15,84 mm dapat menghasilkan energi listrik sebesar 173,593 kWh dan terendah di Bulan Juli sebesar 0,86 mm dapat menghasilkan energi listrik sebesar  49,772 kWh dengan rata-rata pertahun 2018 yaitu sebesar 8,9592 mm di tiga stasiun. Sedangkan data debit air pada tahun 2018 tertinggi di Bulan Februari sebesar 10,08 m3/detik dapat menghasilkan energi listrik sebesar 198,296 kWh dan terendah di Bulan Juli sebesar 3,53 m3/detik dapat menghasilkan energi listrik sebesar 49,772 dengan rata-rata pertahun 2018 debit air sebesar 7,9858 m3/detik. Dengan rata-rata curah hujan 8,9592 mm dan debit air 7,9858 m3/detik dapat menghasilkan energi listrik rata-rata pertahun 2018 sebesar 156,0105 kWh selama tahun 2018. Dapat disimpulkan curah hujan tidak berpengaruh langsung terhadap produktivitas energi listrik yang dihasilkan sedangkan debit air berpengaruh terhadap produktivitas energi listrik.

Traditionally, urbanization is hailed as an important force for socio-economic development of countries. In fact, recent research on Africa suggests that urbanization has the potential to stimulate socio-economic development. Yet, many African countries experiencing rapid urban growth continue to bear a disproportionate amount of the costs associated with urbanization (e.g., increased urban poverty, and energy crisis among others). This is in sharp contradiction to the popular notion that urbanization is a stimulus for socio-economic development. Using Ghana as a case study, this chapter discusses the extent to which rapid urbanization influences power supply and the implications on socio-economic development. The chapter focuses on four issues: (1) the history of power and urbanization in Ghana; (2) the influence of urbanization on power crisis in Ghana; (3) the socio-economic implications of urbanization-induced power crisis; and (4) the policies available in addressing the power crisis. Recommendations to address the ever-growing demand for electrical power are proffered

The main objective of this chapter is to present a hybrid model for bus load forecasting. This approach represents an essential tool for the operation of the electrical power system and the hybrid model combines a bus clustering process and a load forecasting model. As a case study, the model was applied to the real Brazilian electrical system, and the results revealed a performance similar to that of conventional models for bus load forecasting, but about 14 times faster. The results are compatible with the safe operating load levels for the Brazilian electrical power system and have proved to be adequate for use in real operation tasks.

Renewable energy especially solar energy has become a significant part in electrical power generation with its advantage in the environmentally friendly and current trend of decrease in installation cost. The photovoltaic (PV) system on a rooftop is one of the power generating system based on renewable energy that can fit building to utilize space efficiently. This paper is analyzing the feasibility of installing a solar PV rooftop on the building using a case study building located in Bangkok, Thailand. The performance will be evaluated in term of both energy and economic perspective. The comparison with Thailand building energy code also been done to show that overall energy consumption with PV system complies with the law. The result has shown that with rooftop photovoltaic system installation, annual energy consumption in the building can be reduced significantly and it can achieve feasibility in term of economic perspective.
